    No offense, but your comments come off as kind of edgy and from someone who sounds like the most exotic thing they’ve eaten is pineapple on pizza.

      I’m pretty much convinced that no one else in this thread has gone more than 48 hrs without eating. Of the four on the wiki I’ve tried only urchin has a different flavor dead to alive, all of the others have been texture or experiential differences.

      Eating something alive does feel different.

        @pyrflie I’ve gone 48 hours without eating.

        Can’t say it ever made me want to carefully cook the body of a fish while keeping its head alive and then eat it as it watched me.

          I think a squid being caught and eaten alive is pretty close to what’s been happening for thousands of years, also what every other animal who eats squid does… I don’t see the issue. Significantly less cruelty than factory farming of cows and pigs imo.

            “it’s always been done like this” is a pretty bad excuse. Why would you not lessen the suffering of an animal if you can do it so easily?

              I don’t see eating a squid that will die in a matter of seconds as significantly more suffering than if it’s already dead at the store or in a can.
